Well guys, it looks like it's time for me to write my first anniversary post. That's right, one year ago I joined this site and my life has never been the same. Back when I did the Communicast I told a little bit of the story of how I joi...

Alright guys, I want to play a game. It's an easy game and won't end up like when they play games in SAW. In order to play all you need to do is grab some cases from your favorite games. Easy enough right? So grab them and come back. Got ...

321 Go Cast -JohnnyViral This show proudly admits that they don't have a script, or a clue for that matter. Each episode is recorded in an improv environment by several regulars, and guests from the community. Listening in each week is alm...

So I like #NewDestructoid, but I'm a little confused on how this works. In fact, I have no clue where this post will go. My blog? The Communicast group? The Furry Naruto Fanfiction Lovers Club (Oh Sasuke-kun, let me show you the jutsu...

PAX happened. Some of you saw me there, some of you didn't. But this blog isn't about me, it's about 3 mighty heroes who braved the dangers of a world devoid of compassion to make it all the way to Seattle in order to save PAX for the rest ...

So as you all better know I had a contest to take someone to PAX. If you want to join that you are much too late. It is now my solemn duty to present the winners. I want you all to imagine I'm doing this like Leia at the end of Star Wars. ...

I don't know if you guys have heard but there is a little thing coming up called Prom... or PAX. Every year at this event dtoiders advertise themselves and get other more fortunate dtoiders take a representation of them to the show. I am ...

So then loving public, you may be familiar with the shenanigans that are about to released all over the collective Destructoid. So as I said in the last post this podcast will only work if the community decides to get involved. Here is your...

Alright guys, I like making podcasts, and I like the Destructoid community, and I haven't had enough to do lately. This has lead to quite a bit of thinking to be done, and quite a few ideas to execute. One of these ideas is something I like...

Look at that giant sad puppy. It's massive. You folks may know that I host a podcast. Recently I had started making posts about the episodes over here and some people seemed to be enjoying them. Unfortunately calamity has struck and withi...

So this is a thing that I made. Everyone was tired as shit so things are a little shorter and a little less peppy than usual. Things were still fun regardless. Download The post over at the blogspot has the pictures if you are someone...

Hey guys, this one is terribly late but I was on a pacific northwest adventure. This is why the sound quality is absolutely horrible, but the show must go on. Download So tell me do you guys want to ask us any questions? Do that belo...

Look at that, the big name Dtoid members keep on coming. This means you, dear reader, should love it as well. This has some Super Mario Galaxy/2 spoilers and some House of the Dead spoilers. I really liked this week's podcast, and our new p...

The Save and Reload boys and I made a bonus podcast about the Microsoft and Nintendo press conferences so far and our opinions about them. Other than that there really isn't much to say about this, but I hope you enjoy.

So I made another podcast (this one is sans Tactix though) and I decided to put it up here again if only because SteezyXL liked it. So this one is for you buddy. Download Here is the list of topics we talk about (in order) so if there ...

Actually I've made quite a few, but this is the first I've thought to put up for the loving people of Destructoid. I feel like you all will like this one especially as it happens to have someone in it who goes by the name of Tactix. Whoeve...

I recently beat Super Mario Galaxy 2. This may not seem like something big to most people, but I'm not most people. I have a very serious problem. I rarely finish games. This usually comes down to one of two things: either distraction or...

A few days ago I read Ludonarrative Dissonance in Bioshock: The problem of what the game is about, by Clint Hocking, and (aside from learning I was the nerdiest person on the planet) I became inspired to write some game criticism of my ow...

This past Saturday I got to go down to the Destructoid San Francisco headquarters to play Lost Planet 2 with some members of the community and the Destructoid editors. I ended up playing the game for somewhere near 7 hours straight and i...

A few months back I saw an experiment that one of the editors at Kotaku did at GDC (although I can't seem to find it nor remember who wrote it), but it was a list of 10 games and it was titled the 10 best games of all time. The list was t...

The happy couple + me. I want to thank you for everything you have done for the gaming industry as a whole and me personally. One year ago I had to choose where it was I wanted to go to college, and what I wanted to do with the rest of m...

If you are an aficionado of shitty music you are most likely familiar with the quote, “I never made the most of my time when I thought that I had plenty of it.” I heard this quote shrieked at me today by some whiny androgynous teens via P...

In case you didn't know Anthony Burch did a lecture at UC Berkeley this past Monday (March 8th) and I was nice enough to record the whole damn thing on video for you poor suckers who don't live nearby. I'm going to apologize in advance fo...

About Spencer Hayesone of us since 6:18 PM on 03.10.2010

Nobody really knows what Spencer does. Technically some sort of Community Manager Spencer has also been known to stand in front of cameras and talk to people. Additionally, he's a hot hunk o' man.

Aside from these studly endeavors, Spencer loves indie games in a way that would make most people blush and has played more hours of Pokemon than any one person should.

Apparently ethics statements are a thing we're doing now so I guess I have to put that here:

I'm friends with several indie developers and I worked at Gamestop at one point in my life. I really love hotdogs.
